What is collective representation? Give a specific example of how this might work in the modern Congress?
What will be an ideal response?
Collective representation is the idea that representation involves more than the interactions between individual members and their specific constituents. Instead, members may represent interest that go far beyond the geographic boundaries of their district or state. Voters may feel represented when there are members that speak and act on issues and interests that matter to them, even if they are from a different district or state. Examples will vary.
